Photos from Annual the Poetry PicnicAugust 30, 2015

The Connecticut Poetry Society presented Dick Allen with a certificate of appreciation thanking him for his five year tenure as Connecticut Poet Laureate. The presentation was made at the 2015 Annual CPS picnic at the beach house of Vivian Shipley and Ed Harris. Christine Beck read one of Allen's poems to a very large group of Connecticut poets and writers. The picnic and presentation was follow by an open microphone reading. CPS members present received an advanced copy of the new Connecticut River Review poetry journal for 2015 from editor Pat Mottola. The journals will soon be in the mail for the membership.
